Key Takeaways from BuildUP26

Last week, Tom Williams and Paul Harrison from our Christchurch team joined BuildUP26, hosted by Building Institute Aotearoa. Leaders from across the construction sector came together to explore the future of project delivery in Aotearoa.

Key takeaways:

– AI is here, and changing the game. On site and in project management, it’s reshaping how engineers and project managers will need to work alongside it.
– Liability is evolving. The shift from joint and several to proportionate liability aims to be fairer and more accountable, but strong governance is essential for it to work in practice.
– People come first. Investing in training, safety, and culture drives engagement and performance. High-performing teams don’t just have the right skillset, they bring the right mindset and heartset too.

Thanks to the Building Institute Aotearoa and everyone involved for a thoughtful and inspiring event.
